The Total Economic Impact of Microsoft 365 Education: Improving student learning while reducing cost and effort
It is every school district's goal to provide better educational experiences for their students. That's exactly why these five school districts decided to move to Microsoft 365. Did they achieve it? You bet, and in more ways than one. Teachers were able to spend less time on administrative tasks and more time focused on student needs and improving curriculums. Districts were able to save on IT costs and affordably put more devices in students' hands, moving toward their goal of one-to-one student-to-device ratios. Most importantly, students became more engaged with their studies. Check out the full results of the study and contact us to learn more about what they could mean for your district.

More time for teachers. More savings for the district. More opportunities for students.
No teacher went into the profession to spend time in front of a computer! People became teachers to share knowledge and have a positive impact on students' lives. Microsoft can help them achieve this by giving valuable time back. With the efficiencies provided through Microsoft 365 tools, teachers can refocus their time and effort toward more impactful things such as one-on-one time with students, expanding their curriculum to be more inclusive, and pursuing new professional development opportunities. The result is better learning outcomes for students and greater job satisfaction for teachers. Learn more about this and other exciting benefits of Microsoft 365 in this infographic.
